The Grace of Wild Things by Heather Fawcett

4.0

Emiliy Fawcett, WHY. This is my second middle grade read of hers, and she breaks my heart each time. I AM NOT OKAY. *curls up in a ball and weeps inconsolably* Ehem. This story was so magical and whimsical and felt like a fairytale. If you've read Emily Wilde, you'll love this. It's weird and magical and quirky. The witch is actually a real Hansel and Gretel style witch, which gave me Feelings and I was not expecting. The moral quandary of this book is quite a lot, and again, I have Feelings. but gosh, this book. This BOOK. I love the found family elements of it. The way Grace finds companionship and love in those around her, some seeing her as she truly is, others not quite seeing her, but still coming to love and care for her anyway. It just tugged at all the heart strings and shattered my soul into a hundred little pieces. 
So if you love magic and found family and heart ache, this is the story for you.
